Chapter 146 Tezuka Kunimitsu Issues a Challenge
"Bang!"
Tezuka Kunimitsu's demeanor was that of a great general.
His attacks were both precise and ruthless.
"Tezuka".
A competitive spirit rekindled in Atobe Keigo's heart, and he said, "He's even better than before."
The Seigaku members wore expressions of pride.
But everyone knows very well that everyone is improving, and the strength in the bones and throughout the body does not lie.
The intense training during this period has greatly improved everyone's abilities.
"Bang!"
"!"
"Match over! Tezuka Kunimitsu wins, score 6-0!"
Kunimitsu Teya won the first game of the match on Court 5 with overwhelming momentum.
"Six to zero? What kind of monsters are these middle schoolers?"
"Natsume Tsukiya also likes to score 6-0."
"Now you know why we're recruiting junior high school students this year."
"Tezuka is really strong."
Everyone was amazed.
Kurobe's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Tezuka Kunimitsu has entered the player pool for Court 5."
"oh!"
The junior high school students responded with an "Oh."
Everyone begins to feel a strange emotion, knowing that their turn is coming soon, a mix of confidence and uncertainty.
"Bang!"
"!"
"Keigo Atobe enters the player pool at Court 5."
"Akuzu Jin enters the player pool at Court 5."
"Kuranosuke Shiraishi enters the player pool at Stadium No. 5."
Court 5: "These bastards are taking turns to beat us up."
"It's infuriating, they're all so tough."
"Have we become too complacent?"
The players on Court No. 5 were defeated one by one by 21 junior high school students in just a few days.
This also meant that the No. 5 stadium had to go down to the training ground and undergo high-intensity training every day.
Unlike before, the previous training no longer seemed like much to them.
But the current training seems to be even more painful than the previous training.
"21 junior high school students in Court No. 5 will draw lots to determine their opponents. In the first round, 10 will be eliminated, and in the second round, five or six will remain."
""
The junior high students were quite happy, since they had all made it into court number five.
Upon hearing this news from the Kurobe, he immediately felt tense again.
"We still need to continue training every day."
The Kurobe's reinforcements caused everyone to complain bitterly.
"I didn't expect that even after entering the fifth phase, we would still have to train."
"However, if everyone has to train, there's actually not much difference."
"That's true, but it's hard to say for those who can't handle the physical demands."
Marui Bunta, blowing out bubblegum, said dismissively, "In that case, it's best if you're not referring to me. I'm not going to lose to anyone right now."
The coaching staff continued, "If we challenge the goalkeeper of Stadium 5, then we don't need to continue training."
"Challenge, number five?"
"Natsume Tsukiya, I suppose."
Everyone immediately thought of Natsume Tsukiya, and at the same time looked towards the relaxed human outside the arena. Everyone's heart tightened at the same time.
I don't know why, but I have a strange sense of fear.
I don't know what they're afraid of, maybe they're afraid of being shut out again.
Natsume Tsukiya seems to have become a towering mountain.
Natsume Tsukiya gazed at the green field before him, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the hot wind whispering in his ear, yet with a hint of coolness in the heat.
Suddenly, I recalled my university days: the sky was azure, the grass was lush and green, and the basketball court was constantly filled with the sounds of thumping balls.
Later, I was very tired.
Now, he lives here like a god.
"Bang bang bang~"
Natsume Tsuki pounded on the railing, feeling pain in his arm. Apart from the memories that were hard to distinguish as real or fake, everything else was real. Perhaps the pain was just a program, and everyone was the same in that world.
Others' lives are progressing, just like everyone else in this room.
They kept swinging their rackets, kept hitting each other, and kept laughing loudly.
They have clear goals in life, pursuing them throughout junior high and high school.
Natsume Tsukiya, however, was not, as he was leaning against the railing at that moment.
He came here to travel.
They come here to enjoy themselves, so why should a god-like figure give up a point to his opponent?
Keep a clean sheet, no matter who comes: Ryoma Echizen, Ryoga Echizen, or Nanjiro Echizen?
Tokugawa Kazuya, Byodoin Phoenix?
World-class professional player Porker?
"Tezuka Kunimitsu VS. Rabbit!"
Play started simultaneously at various stadiums.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Guoguang is very strong, but the Rabbit is no ordinary person either.
The intense training made it very difficult for Kunimitsu Teya to defeat Tsurugi without using his special techniques.
The Hand Family Zone and Hand Family Phantom are used.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Match ended, Kunimitsu Tezuka won, score 6 to 1."
Sato: "Tezuka Kunimitsu's five-dimensional data—speed, stamina, mental strength, and technique—have all improved. Compared to the National Tournament, he's practically a different person."
Kurobe: "It seems that brutal training can be quite effective sometimes."
Takuya Ryuji: "However, I heard that he has an invitation letter from Germany. I'm afraid we can't keep such a talent."
Everyone fell silent.
Kunimitsu Teya looked at Tsukiya Natsume.
Suddenly, I recalled my experience in the national competition.
He never imagined being shut out.
Along the way, he might not be the most outstanding one in the country, but he was certainly among the top few.
I've lost occasionally, but I've never been shut out.
Especially in front of a national audience.
They were beaten so badly they had no chance to fight back.
It was thought that the German team would give up at this point.
Unexpectedly, they sent another invitation.
But, do I really have to leave like this?
Guoguang Shoujia asked himself this question.
Kunimitsu Teie, who was once bound to Seigaku as a pillar of the school, has clearly realized here that he is no longer the one who needs to bear everything.
Natsume Tsukiya may not seem to have any convictions, but he has unknowingly become a role model.
Kunimitsu Teiya thought to himself, "Is he afraid?"
He could not give a definite answer.
After winning the match, he returned to his dormitory room.
An invitation was placed on the table.
On the other side is the application form.
Number Five
These two simple bold characters are so dazzling at this moment.
Tezuka Kunimitsu picked up a pen, took a deep breath, and began to fill in his name and reason.
Soon, the Kurobe received the challenge application form.
Sato: "Tezuka Kunimitsu is going to challenge Natsume Tsukiya alone?"
Kurobe: "To be precise, it's a challenge against goalkeeper number five."
Sato shook his head: "Not necessarily. I think it's related to the fact that we were shut out before."
Kurobe: "Is that how you see it?"
Sato said, "For Kunimitsu Tei, being shut out must be his inner demon. Now that his strength has improved and he has this opportunity, it's not unreasonable for him to give himself a chance to settle the score."
Kurobe listened and approved it from above.
"I agree to Tezuka Kunimitsu of Stadium 5 challenging Natsume Tsukiya, the goalkeeper of Stadium 5!"
This message was broadcast.
Everyone was confused: "Tezuka, huh?"
Ryo Mido said, "Challenge our minister."
Mukahi Gakuto: "Is it for revenge?"
Eiji Kikumaru: "Tezuka is actually going to challenge Tsukiya Natsume."
Fuji Syusuke: "I guess you mean Tezuka wants to beat the goalkeeper of Stadium Number Five."
Kuranosuke Shiraishi: "Tezuka, you've got guts."
Eishiro Kite: "Looks like someone couldn't wait any longer, but that guy beat me to it."
Kiyosumi Sengoku: "Tezuka is still so amazing."
Kanata Irie: "It seems there's someone even braver than Jujiro."
Oni Jujiro: "That kind of brat has no chance of succeeding."
Tokugawa Kazuya: "Are you sure you can't find out what that middle schooler's strength is?"
Oni Jujiro shook his head.
The whole room was discussing this, and everyone had their own opinion.
Right-hand man, Wei Taro: "What do you think of your minister?"
Yamato Yu laughed: "He's still too persistent. It seems I have to step in, or I won't be able to repay what I owe him."
1
Right-hand Wei Taro: "So you've decided to retire after all?"
Yamato Yuta: "It's the era of young people now. As an old player, my talent and strength are just average. In this arena, even if I like it, struggling won't bring much joy. Retiring early and putting my energy into other things is the wisest choice."
Wei Taro on the right did not speak.
He knew very well that Yamato Yuta was right.
Even if you like something a lot, there's a limit.
Choosing to say goodbye through a special ceremony is also a good option.
Shouts echoed through the deep mountain jungle, and flocks of birds took flight with a roar.
The losers in the bracket have also received the news.
Kunimitsu Teya will challenge the goalkeeper for Stadium 5.
"Is it that Oni Jujiro?"
Someone said, "Is it the one who defeated Momoshiro?"
"Don't joke around. Haven't you heard? Oni Jujiro has long been replaced by Natsume Tsukiya."
"What? You've been replaced by Natsume Tsukiya?"
Some people seemed surprised.
"It seems that Tezuka Kunimitsu is here for revenge this time."
"Being shut out in the national tournament is something no one can tolerate."
"But even now, is it certain that Tezuka Kunimitsu can defeat Natsume Tsukiya?"
"We don't need to beat him. In my opinion, taking just one point from him would be a huge victory."
Ryoma Echizen listened to these heated discussions, completely distracted.
"What are you still doing?"
Mifune Nyudo roared.
The group of kids were so frightened they jumped.
Immediately, everyone threw themselves into the new day's training.
Ryoma Echizen remained absent-minded.
Stop.
Mifune Nyudo roared in anger, scornfully saying, "Go and cut off all those messy roots in your heart before you come back."
Ryoma Echizen frowned and left.
They ran all the way to the training camp.
Under blue skies and white clouds, on a green sports field.
Kunimitsu Teya and Tsuki Natsume each stood at one end.
Outside the arena, high school students, junior high school students, unfamiliar faces, and familiar faces all looked towards the center of the arena.
Atobe Keigo thought to himself, "Tezuka, you really have guts."
He then turned to look at Natsume Tsukiya, "However, even if that guy doesn't train, you probably still won't be able to defeat him."
""
What will happen in this match?
Everyone has different opinions.
Natsume Tsuki also pointed at Kunimitsu and said, "You want to settle things once and for all before you go to Germany, is that it?"
"Today I'm taking on the goalkeeper for Stadium No. 5."
Shou Jia Guoguang said coldly.
"The goalkeeper at Stadium 5 said you have no chance."
Natsume Tsukiya said.
"Tap tap tap~"
Kunimitsu Teya started dribbling the ball, without responding.
He's always been that kind of person; he doesn't like to respond to others.
"Bang!"
With a sudden leap, Guoguang jumped and shot the ball out.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was laser treatment.
Anyone with eyes can see that he did his best.
However, none of the people who had fought Natsume Tsukiya were worried that Natsume Tsukiya wouldn't be able to catch it.
"Bang!"
Natsume Tsuki also pounded the door open.
The strength of the force was evident from the person's entire movement.
"!"
"Bang!"
"So strong, both of them are strong."
"I never expected Tezuka to be this strong, able to fight Natsume Tsukiya at high speed."
"No, actually it's not the same," Oni Jujiro said. "Tezuka did his best to avoid conceding a point."
Kazuya Tokugawa: "And Tsukiya Natsume hasn't even exerted his full power yet."
The group had barely finished speaking when...
"6
Game, Natsume Tsukiya, the score is 0 to 1!
The situation took a sudden turn for the worse.
Natsume Tsuki immediately scored a point as well.
A tough stance.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi thought to himself, "That guy still won't let the opponent get a single point. If the Tei family doesn't come up with a solution quickly, they'll probably be shut out again, just like during the National Tournament!!"
The thought of being shut out made Shiraishi Kuranosuke's hands involuntarily tense.
Keep in mind that although that match was a doubles game.
However, he failed to score a single point, which can be considered a shutout.
He's held a grudge about this for a long time.
"Bang!"
Natsume Tsukiya also threw a ball.
"Fifteen to zero."
"So fast!"
The onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
"What are you going to do, Tezuka?" Kikumaru Eiji asked worriedly.
Fuji Syusuke chuckled, "Tezuka is trying to figure something out too."
"Is that so?" Kikumaru Eiji looked over and, sure enough, saw Tezuka Kunimitsu enveloped in two kinds of light: "The State of Selflessness and Tezuka Phantom?"
The high school student who was previously defeated on Court 5: "That guy used that move again, bouncing the opponent's ball out of bounds?"
Everyone was wary of Teiya Kunimitsu's move.
Kanata Irie: "Will this tactic work?"
Kiki Jujiro shook his head: "I don't think so."
"Their ball bounces out because they're not strong enough!"
Natsume Tsukiya's words were firm and powerful.
After he finished speaking, there was a loud bang.
Natsume Tsukiya turned around confidently.
Yamato Yuu's eyes widened.
Wei Taro spoke up from the right end: "It's like a bullet forcibly piercing through plastic, and your young minister hasn't even noticed."
Yamato Yuta frowned.
It only took a moment.
The Phantom of the Hand can bounce away the ball flying towards it, but what if the opponent's force completely ignores this bounce?
It was just a flash.
Natsume Tsukiya's serve had already pierced through the so-called "hand-held phantom".
"Thirty to zero!"
Until the judge pronounces the verdict.
Tezuka Kunimitsu turned his head in surprise.
He didn't notice anything at all?
So, it seems there's no way to hinder Natsume Tsukiya's serve after all?
Even if I'm already this strong?
Kunimitsu Teya unleashed an even more powerful Teya Phantom.
Atobe Keigo said, "Tezuka, aren't you going to admit defeat?"
